With Maracanã under renovation, Rubro-Negro wants more than ever to build its own stadium on the Gasólogo site, in Rio de Janeiro. However, before that, it is necessary to reach an agreement with Caixa Econômica Federal, the owner of the place. In this context, Rodolfo Landim, president of Flamengo, was optimistic about the construction of the stadium, stipulating a period of five years until the project is completed.


According to information initially released by 'Metrópoles', the red-black board expects resolve the bureaucratic issue involved in the construction of Mengão's own stadium within the next three years. With the change of command of Caixa Econômica Federal, there is the possibility that the process of accession of the land controlled by the financial institution will be accelerated.


In Flamengo's sights, the land that could house the club's very first own stadium Mais Querido is located in the Gasometer area, a port region of Rio de Janeiro. For the club to be able to purchase the space, Caixa Econômica Federal needs to release the endorsement of a private consultancy. To proceed, 'Vinci Partnes' was hired to study the feasibility of the agreement. Currently, what prevents the negotiations from progressing is the political factor, which depends on the financial institution and releases from the city of Rio de Janeiro and the state government.


In the view of Rodolfo Landim, president of Flamengo, the club will finally get its own stadium in five years. According to the president, his estimate takes into account the time needed to resolve bureaucratic issues and construction time. To avoid mistakes, Rubro-Negro hired a specialist who will be responsible for the project, taking care of everything from negotiations with Caixa Econômica Federal to the financial architecture.

While the board is concerned with the construction of its own stadium, the Mengão cast focuses on their commitments. Flamengo and Athletico-PR face each other next Wednesday (13) in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The dispute takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Kleber Andrade Stadium. Currently, Mais Querido occupies fourth place in the Brazilian Championship. The club's objective is to overcome the 12-point difference between Rubro-Negro and Botafogo, the current leader of the competition.

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.


Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.


If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.


LEFT BACK IS DISPUTED

Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.


FLAMENGO FACES GRÊMIO

After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
